Thanks. just don't ask me to do it again ... Mike, I'm not normally given to sycophancy, but even when you balls it up it still looks good :
This one was 5 shots, hand held, f3.5.
Manual focus.
I purposly left the front and back out of focus just a touch as I prefer a bit of blur.
Like the chocolate though Aminstar, first one is very good.

Well I had another go this morning and I'm not sure what exactly happened but CombineZM spat this out after doing it's thing.
I must admit I really like the effect ... pity I can't get anything like it when I try myself.

aminstar, you have a Sigma flash I see in your signature. Why not experiment with that to light the inside of the flower ?
As RR says, use the flash Luke ... Sorry, Aminstar.aminstar, you have a Sigma flash I see in your signature. Why not experiment with that to light the inside of the flower ?
I use mine a lot for Macro, even the built in one can be useful (my Hibiscus was taken with onboard flash).

Wow, that is impressive. The stacking process is just a simple task, as the main aspect is getting the subjects right, and it seems you have achieved it to the minute details.
Thanks but to be honest I think it was more luck than judgement Mike

After seeing Aminstars attempt at macro stacking I thought I would give it another bash. Anyway, here is my 3 shot stack effort of a pretty grotty Hibiscus flower.

To be honest I have never seen a bad macro lens.
